With the amount of hyperthreading flaws...might as well switch off the hyperthreading in 9900k and use is as a 9700k! Lol
hyper threading and SMT ... rather have pure core counts then artificial but rumored Zen3 pushing 3 threads per core does seem like a pretty sweet idea !
heat load intels HT puts on is off putting and in games... makes no difference really unless your an AoS nut and want a ton of 4k action
@Plec consoles game developers will only develop for what they have in front of them - given 8 cores and 16 threads, then they'll make do with that for 5 years. At the start games wont be impressive but like all consoles, what they are able to push out at the products end of life cycle is incredible !
DX12 and vulcan really need to get a move on and be shoved down PC developers throats !
Key to a well developed Game is that its able to run on the Lowest System, as well as tax the greatest system with full bells and whistles ! Anno 1800 can be played pretty much on any i3 2 core rigs , but play 4k Ultra and brings 2080 GTX and i7 to its kness when a full map is populated and in last stages of game play
still 90% of steam games are i3/i5 recommended games , guessing it'll take end of Zen5 to finally see 6/8 cores in Steam Hardware hit 50%
... currently they are at 3% .... 2/4 cores 80% << what game developers need to get working to sell copies of games !
just having my fingers crossed for Ryzen 3*** hitting 5ghz OC and cheaper then intel .
(Don't take offence @Omaeka - this is a general discussion - not a scathing indictment on your choices).
